Three Estes Valley Fire Protection District board seats up for vote

At least one change in store for board

Three seats on the Estes Valley Fire Protection District's Board of Directors will be up for election in May.

The seats currently belong to Board President Frank Theis, and directors Mike Kearney and Mike Richardson.

Theis is term-limited and can't run again.

Kearney, who was appointed, is filling out the term of Sue Doylen who resigned. Richardson also was appointed by the board to complete the term of Jack Rumley who died.

Kearney could not be reached by phone early Tuesday for comment. However, Kearney's wife said her husband was planning to run for the seat he now holds.

Richardson, when contacted by phone, said he was planning to run for his seat.

Suzanne Landkamer, the administrative assistant for the Estes Valley Fire Protection District, said interested residents can pick up self-nominating forms at Station No. 1, 901 N. St. Vrain Ave., or by e-mailing slandkamer@estesvalleyfire.org. Landkamer said the forms must be filled out and returned to the station by Feb. 28.
